Commissioner Zimmerman moved, seconded by Commissioner Larson to approve the February 5, 200S minutes as amended. The motion carried unanimously (S-O). - ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2,2005 2 PUBLIC HEARINGS . A. PLANNING CASE #05-09: DAVID RADZIEJ AND ROGER SABOT. 4365 AND 4367 LEXINGTON AVENUE; DRIVEWAY VARIANCES Mr. Hellegers stated applicants were requesting variances to allow them to maintain the existing shared driveway and add an additional driveway for each of the applicant's properties in the City. Staff recommended approval based on the following conditions: 1. The applicants shall submit Zoning Permits with plans to the Building Official a minimum of two (2) weeks before the planned start of construction. 2. The applicants will require approval from Ramsey County for the cub-cuts prior to the installation of any new driveway. 3. The driveways shall be constructed to meet the City standard width of a l2-foot minimum and a 22-foot maximum. 4. There shall be at least 60 feet between each driveway access. 5. Parking shall comply with the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance requirements of no parking on any areas except for driveways and parking lots, and shall not have more than 4 vehicles may be parked on any driveway. Commissioner Zimmerman asked why previous conditions that had not been met had not been checked on. Mr. Hellegers replied he did not know why those conditions had not been checked up on by staff in 1995. . Commissioner Zimmerman asked whose responsibility was it that conditions imposed on the property were met. Mr. Hellegers replied it was City staffs responsibility. Chair Sand stated there was an e-mail received from a neighbor on 1090 Amble Drive objecting to the request on five grounds. Commissioner Bezdicek asked why where they retaining the existing driveway and adding two additional ones. Mr. Hellegers replied it would provide better access for the applicants. Chair Sand asked if there was anything in the Zoning Ordinance or the Comprehensive Plan that would limit the addition of a driveway here. He noted mature trees would be lost to make room for the new driveways. Mr. Hellegers replied there were no conditions protecting those trees. Chair Sand asked if it would be a right turn in and right turn out. Mr. Hellegers replied that was correct. Commissioner Larson asked who created the hardship. Mr. Hellegers replied this was done by a previous owner. Commissioner Larson asked if they had originally agreed to the shared driveway. Mr. . Hellcgers replied that was correct. Commissioner Larson noted with Lexington being a commuter street, he assumed the reason for the shared driveway was to eliminate accesses on Lexington. He stated it ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 3 . appeared to him that whoever built these homes did not comply with the conditions of approval and because they did not comply, they were being asked to add two more access to this. Re indicated they had never tried this and now there would be no left turns. He stated it seemed to him that whoever did the initial construction did not follow the direction of the conditions of approval. Commissioner Larson stated since each of these homes were allowed to have an access to the street in front of it, the site could have been modified to allow a driveway for each of these houses and that could be approved by staff. Mr. Hellegers replied Council would have needed to remove the original condition of approval. He noted one of the problems with a shared access drive was the 20 foot access point, which was a tight access point. Commissioner Thompson asked if a turnaround option was looked at. Mr. Hellegers replied that option had not been discussed and he could not find any prior documentation regarding that option. Commissioner Zimmerman asked how wide the existing driveway was. Mr. Rellegers replied the existing driveway was 20 feet. Commissioner Zimmerman noted it appeared the driveway was at least 2 cars wide. Chair Sand asked if they had looked at the option of widening the existing driveway. Mr. . Rellegers replied they had not looked at that option. He noted both the County and the applicants had indicated it was a problem for a single access point and that was the reason they had not looked at that option. Chair Sand noted widening the existing driveway would save a lot ofthe vegetation. Chair Sand opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. Chair Sand invited anyone for or against this application to come forward and make comment. Email dated February 19, 2005 from Aladin Hassan, 1090 Amble Drive, Shoreview: "1. More driveways on Lexington Ave at that spot is creating more dangerous situation for everyone going south on Lexington from east of Amble Dr. because the only way to get to the free way 694 is to turn south on Lexington. 2. It is already very bad during rush hours at the present time. 3. My understanding everywhere is eliminating the number of driveway access on busy roads for PUBLIC safety reasons and the plan I received in the mail showed that there will be THREE DRIVEWAYS instead of ONE '!! 4. I'm sure it is more hazardous for that very busy main road. 5. How many driveways in very short distance (and close to two cross sections) the drivers on that Extremely busy rood (sic) will be watching ??? And if the city agree . on that whey (sic) they want to retain the existing driveway isn't bad enough now? I hope the city of Arden Hills does not approve that plan... Thanks." Kathy Rodziej, 43565 Lexington Avenue, stated they had lived in their home for six months and previous to them moving in the home had been owned by a single person. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 4 Beverly Sabot, 4367 Lexington Avenue, stated it was difficult to make the turn into the . driveway with the speed limit of 40 mph on Lexington Avenue. She noted there the Rodziej's had teenage drivers and this was a safety issue. Roger Sabot stated two huge mature trees would need to be removed if they widened the driveway. He noted the driveway was not wide enough for two cars to go in and out comfortably. He believed the driveway was 22 feet. He stated they were the first owners after the people who originally built it. He noted putting in two additional driveways would not take out any substantial vegetation. Chair Sand noted for safety purposes, it might be safer to eliminate the existing driveway and put in the two new driveways. Ms. Rodziej stated in that type of a situation, they would have to go past their garage and would need to turn around to get into their garage. She noted they also had recreational vehicles where it would be difficult to get into the driveway if the existing driveway was eliminated. Commissioner Zimmerman asked if they had talked about a turnaround. Ms. Rodziej stated tonight's meeting was the first time they had heard about a turnaround. Chair Sand asked if this were to be approved, who would approve the geometry of the driveway to ensure it was angled properly onto Lexington. Mr. Hellegers replied the City Engineer and/or the Ramsey County Engineers would need to work out the geometry of . the driveways. Commissioner Bezdicek stated more driveways on a busy road were more dangerous. Ms. Rodziej stated they would enter in the center driveway and exit out the other driveway. Mr. Sabot replied they felt they could get into the traffic on Lexington A venue faster with their proposal. He expressed concern that the speed on Lexington A venue would increase, which will also make the existing driveway unsafe. Ms. Sabot noted most of their vegetation was removed when the sewer system came through. Mr. Sabot indicated they wanted to preserve their large trees. Commissioner Thompson stated the natural tendency would be to take the first driveway. She expressed concern that if these homes were sold at some point in the future, the new owners may not be as cooperative. Letter from Leonard E. Gallus, 1104 Amble Drive, dated February 21, 2005: "l. I need to have further information to understand how an extra 12' x 100' driveway extension starting by my backyard, and angling across the front of the . property and connecting to the existing driveway will help the Sabots to access Lexington Ave. They still can only turn to the right and go South at any of the driveways. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 5 . 2. When these 2 lots were developed some 7 years ago, it was my understanding that for safety reasons there would be a common entrance to the residences. Today, with increased traffic flow on Lexington Ave. the addition of two entrances could make for an even less safe condition than was thought of 7 years ago. This would be a short distance on a roadway like Lexington and could add to motorist confusion. 3. The entire neighborhoods of Karth Lake Hills and Karth Lake Estates are able to access Lexington Ave. with little backup and only 2 entrances/exits to Lexington Ave. Additional Concerns: Trees and natural woodland removal Lights from vehicles using the Sabot driveway shining into my backyard Water runoff toward my yard; their property elevation is slightly higher than mine ViSual privacy My home value It has recently come to my attention that the Sabot residence is not complying with some Arden Hills residential regulations. The Sabots have conducted an internet shopping business out of their Lexington Ave. . home since shortly after moving in. (about 4 years) Apparently clients come to their home to learn how to use the internet site and do their own business. This business seems to be sporadic, and has been less activity recently. I have been recently informed by Peter HeIlegers of the following regulations regarding home businesses: 1. A license is needed 2. Driveways should not have more than 4 cars on them 3. Time restrictions for conducting the business The Sabots have not complied with the above regulations. At times the Sabot's have customers whose cars take up their driveway and sometimes require additional parking in front of my house on Amble Drive. The days of the week vary, but it seems that most activity is on the weekends. The time is generally early evening, and ending usually by 1 1 :00 PM I am very concerned that the real need for the driveways is for their business concerns. If they get the additional driveway and are able to use the new extension for business . parking, I will at times have a parking lot view from both inside my home and even more lack of privacy in my backyard." Chair Sand closed tbc public hearing at 7:52 p.m. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 6 Commissioner Larson moved. seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman to recommend . denial of Planning Case No. 05-09: David Radziej and Roger Sabot, 4365 and 4367 Lexington Avenue; Driveway Variances, reasons for denial: 1. The lack of detail plans and the engineering necessary to show exactly what the dynamics of the access are going to be. The owners have the opportunity to work this out between the City and the County Engineers and come up with a better engineered plan than submitted. 2. The shared access was a condition of approval for the original development of the site and other conditions of approval, which was the turnaround was not met, so therefore, the Commission did not know how the site functions if that condition was in place. 3. multiple accesses to the property and the proximity to the Victoria and Amble intersection would be more confusing and dangerous to traffic on Lexington Avenue and to the occupants. Commissioner Larson believed the applicants did have access problems and he could look much more favorably on this if there were detailed engmeenng plans. Commissioner Thompson agreed. Commissioner Zimmerman understood applicant's thoughts wanting two additional driveways, but he did not see how the logistics would work. Chair Sand stated he believed it was not the applicant's fault that the turnaround was not put in, but this should have been taken care of at the time the building permit was issued. He shared the other Commissioner's concerns and indicated he might be more amenable . going along with this proposal with detailed Engineering's plans. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Roger Sabot stated they were not informed by the County that they needed a detailed drawing; that they only needed a sketch, which is what they presented. B. PLANNING CASE 05-06: CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, 1245 W. HIGHWAY 96; CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES AMENDMENT FOR THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE. Mr. HelIegers stated staff was recommending repealing eXlstmg City Code Section 330.03 relating to massage, rap, and sauna parlors; adopting proposed Section 330.04 relating to Massage Therapy Establishments and Massage Therapists; and Amending Sections 5.E and 10.G of the Zoning Ordinance to reference Massage Therapists and Massage Therapy Establishments. Chair Sand requested a distinction be put in that the license went with the person and not the house, so if new owners were to come in and they wanted licensing, they would need to acquire it. Chair Sand opened the public hearing at 8: I3 p.m. . Chair Sand invited anyone for or against this Ordinance to come forward. Corrine Vahle, 1365 Arkwright St. #201, St. Paul, stated she was licensed in New Brighton and she had just surrendered her St. Paul license because the office where she ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 7 . was working at was closing. She indicated she was in attendance tonight to see what the City's licensing requirements that were being proposed. She stated she liked the extension of the hours and that there was a requirement for a waiting room for the patrons. She noted she was also in agreement with the fees being proposed. Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 8: 18 p.m. Commissioner Zimmerman moved, seconded by Commissioner Larson to approve Planning Case No. 05-06: City of Arden Hills, 1245 W. Highway 96; City Code of Ordinances Amendment for Therapeutic Massage and repealing existing City Code Section 330.03 relating to Massage, Rap, and Sauna Parlors; adopting proposed Section 330.04 relating to Massage Therapy Establishments and Massage Therapist; and amending Sections 5.E and 10.G of the Zoning Ordinance to reference Massage Therapist and Massage Therapy Establishments. After further discussion Commissioner Zimmerman withdrew his motion to restate it and Commissioner Larson withdrew his second. Commissioner Zimmerman moved, seconded by Commissioner Larson to recommend Planning Case 05-06 approval based on staffs recommendations for repealing Section 330.03 of the City Code relating to Massage, Rap, and Sauna Parlors and new Section 330.04 relating to Licensed Therapeutic Massage and approving Zoning Amendments . numbers 1 and 2 to allow for massage as a special use, not permitted use, or permitted use in certain Zoning districts. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). C. PLANNING CASE 05-08: CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, 1245 W. HIGHWAY 96. SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS FOR ATHLETIC FIELD SIGNAGE AT BETHEL UNIVERSITY. NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE, AND MOUNDS VIEW HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Hellegers requested the Commission consider staffs recommendations to amend Ordinance No. 333 "An Ordinance Regulating Signage Standards within the City of Arden Hills" to establish standards for athletic field signage at Bethel University, Mounds View High School, and Northwestern College where such signage is visible from a public roadway or property outside of these educational institutions. Mr. Hellegers stated representatives from Mounds View School District approached the City about the possibility for athletic field signage on the Mounds View High School property late in 2004. At their meetings on December 2004, January 2005, and February 2005, the Planning Commission discussed the issue of whether athletic field signage should be regulated by the Sign Ordinance and if regulated what standards should be applied. At their February 2005 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed proposed . amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to address the issue of athletic field signage and rccommended certain changes to the proposed language. Subsequent to the February meeting, staff sent copies of the proposed language to representatives at Bethel University, Mounds View High School, and Northwestern College and asked for their input on the proposed language. Representatives from Bethel University recommended that the Temporary Sponsorship Banners be increased slightly in size and also stated that ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 8 the land should include an "if visible" clause to regulate the signage. The signs that are . not visible would not be subject to the regulation; those that are would have to comply with the new size standards and would be required to file sign permit applications as described in the ordinance. In addition, members of the Planning Commission recommended that the "if visible" clause should establish who was determining if the signage was visible. Staff has included language that would ultimately give that authority to the City Councilor City Administrator. He recommended approval of the seven Sign Ordinance Amendments as proposed. Commissioner Larson recommended they designate a certain staff member or designee to look into the signage. He noted as it was worded that City Councilor City Administrator shall determine if the signage is visible was poor wording for an Ordinance. Chair Sand opened the public hearing at 8:30 p.m. Chair Sand invited anyone for or against the variance to come forward and make comment. Bruce Kunkel, 3452 Glen Arden Road and Administrator at Bethel College, thanked staff and the Commission for their work on this. He believed this would work well for both Bethel College and the residents. Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 8:31 p.m. . Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Commissioner Bezdicek to approve Planning Case No. 05-08: City of Arden Hills, 1245 W. Highway 96; Sign Ordinance Amendments for Athletic Field Signage at Bethel University, Northwestern College, and Mounds View High School. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). D. PLANNING CASE 05-07: CITY OF ARDEN HILLS. 1245 W. HIGHWAY 96. ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS FOR 10-FOOT FRONT PORCH EXCEPTION TO FRONT SETBACK IN R-l AND R-2 ZONING DISTRICTS Mr. Hellegers requested the Commission consider staffs recommendation to amend Section 6.C.2.a. of the Zoning Ordinance and insert new section 6.C.2.d into the Zoning Ordinance. He recommended approval of Zoning Amendments #1 and #2 to allow for steps, decks, and ramps as Permitted Encroachments up to 6 feet in all Zoning Districts and to allow Front Porches as Permitted Encroachments of up to 10 feet, provided that the front porch is no closer than 30 feet from any front or side lot line, for Single-Family Dwellings. Chair Sand asked what for the definition of residential street side yard. Mr. Hellegers . replied that would be a comer property. Chair Sand asked if they wanted to allow some flexibility in the footing and foundation materials so it was complimentary to the home. He expressed concern that it might be ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 9 . too rigid. Mr. Hellegers replied this language was taken from the City of Richfield's language and he believed that City wanted to have a consistent appearance in the front of the homes. He indicated he had spoken with the building official about this and he was okay with either following the Richfield ordinance or not following the Richfield ordinance. Commissioner Larson noted a perimeter foundation was a sturdier structure. Chair Sand stated if they were referring to an enclosed structure, then he could see needing better footing and foundation materials. Chair Sand opened the public hearing at 8:46 p.m. Chair Sand invited anyone for or against the variance to come forward and make comment. There were no comments. Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 8:47 p.m. Commissioner Bezdicek asked if they were only talking about front yard porches. Mr. Hellegers replied this would include front yard and side yard porches. . Chair Sand moved, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to approve Planning Case No. 05-07: City of Arden Hills. 1245 W. Highway 96; Zoning Ordinance Amendments for 10-foot Front Porch Exception to Front Setback in R-1 and R-2 Zoning District. Zoning Amendments #1 and #2 to allow for steps, decks, and ramps as Permitted Encroachments of up to 6 feet in all Zoning Districts and to allow Front Porches as Permitted Encroachments of up to 10 feet, provided that the front porch is no closer than 30 feet from any front or side lot line, for Singe-Family Dwellings. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS None. REPORTS A. Planning Commissioners Commissioner Larson noted he would not be next month's meeting. B. Staff .

ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 10 ADJOURNMENT . Commissioner Zimmerman moved, seconded by Commissioner Bezdicek to adjourn the meeting at 9:13 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). . .

Moderate grade to the western part of the property Notice Notice was published in the Arden Hills/Shoreview Bulletin on Wednesday, March 16, 2005 and notice was prepared by the City and mailed to residents within three-hundred fifty (350) feet of the subject property. Backl!round The applicant has requested a Sign Standard Adjustment for a freestanding monument sign to be located at the Northwest comer of Hamline Avenue and Highway 96 on the Ramsey County Public Works Facility and Sheriff Station property. The Ramsey County property forms a large 'L' shape so the area where the buildings are located is setback about 500 feet from the main access at Hamline Avenue and Highway 96. Orillinal Sien Plans The proposed sign would be constructed of the same brick and steel materials used for the construction of the Public Works and Sheriff Station wings ofthe facility. The sign faces the southeast comer of Ham line Avenue and Highway 96 as Ramsey County anticipates that the majority of the people looking for the facility will come from those directions (the location has since changed to farther west along Highway 96 and the sign has changed from single to double- . sided so that both directions of traffic can read the sign). Plans submitted by the applicant indicate a sign with a cabinet area of 174 square feet (this has since changed to 154 square feet) with brick at the base and along the right (northeast) side ofthe sign. The main source of illumination would be internal (only the lettering would be lit) but a secondary exterior light would be make the monument sign glow at night. A mock-up full-size version of the sign was erected in the approximate location of the proposed sign on March 25, 2005. Plans for the sign are included in the attachments to this report. Staff has also included some pictures ofthe mock-up in the attached materials to allow the Planning Commission to see what the sign would look like in context. Revised Sif!n Plans On March 30, 2005 Ramsey County submitted some revised plans for Planning Commission consideration. While the plans provided do not include all of the same details as the original proposals, they do illustrate the proposed reductions to the size of the sign. In general the revised plans show a shorter monument sign (13.12 feet versus the originally proposed 15.42), smaller sign cabinet (154 square feet versus the originally proposed 174), a switch from a single sided sign facing the southeast comer of Ham line Avenue and Highway 96 to a dual-faced sign which faces the east-west direction of Highway 96. Ramsey County has indicated that they will \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2005\05-10 RCPWF Sign Variance (PENDING)\04-06-05 PC Report 05~IO.doc Page 2 of7 . . have additional drawings ofthese revised plans which will be provided to the Planning Commission for the April 6th meeting.

There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the street; Or, B. The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site; And, after finding positively on condition A or B above, C.

Backlit (Sign District 5) Staff Comments The maximum height for Freestanding Signs in Sign District 6 is 12 feet. The originally proposed sign would have included a 16.33-foot long by 10.67-foot high sign panel with one brick side and a brick base for a total height of the monument sign 15.42 feet. The revised monument sign plans show a 16.33-foot long by 9.42-foot high sign panel with one brick side and a shorter brick base for a total height of the monument sign at about 13.2 feet. As shown in . the table above, this is significantly taller than the US Army Reserve sign and the Arden Hills City Hall sign which both share frontage on Highway 96 like the Ramsey County property. Furthermore, the proposed sign cabinet, at 154 square feet (original plans were for 174), is larger than any of the signs listed above and is almost as large as the CUB Foods sign including the sign base. The proposed Ramsey County sign would have a sign cabinet which is nearly one and one-half times that of the CUB Foods sign. The CUB sign is located in Sign District 5 (Grey Fox Road and Lexington Avenue) which allows for the most freestanding signage in the City and is primarily a retail area and therefore very reliant on customer walk-in traffic. A sign for the Public Works and Sheriff Patrol station should have an aesthetic and logistical appeal. The proposed sign is consistent with the construction materials from the site and therefore the sign design and building design would be consistent. In addition the sign would serve as the one sign for many different agencies whose access is located at Hamline A venue and Highway 96. Having one sign for all of these agencies including the National Guard would certainly be preferable to several individual freestanding signs. The speed of the traffic on Highway 96 and the need to accommodate these several different agencies does translate to a need for more signage than the 45 square feet that Sign District 6 would allow. However, the same benefits could be derived from a smaller monument sign that does not overwhelm the \\Earth\Planning\Plannfng Cases\2005\05-10 RCPWF Sign Variance (PENDJNG)\04-06-05 PC Report OS-IO.doc Page 4 0/7 . . surrounding area. The proposed sign is inconsistent with both the Civic Center Zoning District and Sign District 6 which anticipated more destination oriented facilities, mainly an integrated government center, which would not require as much signage. Even at the revised size of 154 square feet, the proposed sign is nearly one and one-half times as large as the largest freestanding signage permitted in the Arden Hills Sign Ordinance (100 square feet), and the areas which would be permitted for 100 square feet of freestanding signage are retail uses which are much more , dependant on visibility and customer walk-in traffic than a government use would be. I I Part of the problem with visibility is likely caused by the amount of information on the sign; 10 lines with headings and subheadings. A simplified sign, perhaps which also included the address numbers, and listed the headings could allow a much smaller sign of about 100 square feet. Following is an example: 1411-1425 Ramsey County Public Works Ramsey County Sheriff Patrol Station Arden Hills Operations & Mainteuance . Mounds View Schools Maintenance MN Army National Guard Joint Training Site MN Army National Guard Field Maintenance (brick) (brick sign base) (sign base) By reducing the amount of information and providing more space in betwcen the lettering the sign would be more visible for traffic traveling along Highway 96 and Hamline Avenue. While it is true that some things would need to be left off of the sign, this would really not be much different than signage for an office building with many tenants; the sign allows people to find the buildings and site, once they find the site they would then proceed to the building for the individual tenant. The address numbers at the top of the sign may prove more helpful to identifY the site than any amount of text. In addition, by keeping the size of the sign to 100 square feet (for the sign cabinet area, the base and side would make the overall monument larger) Ramsey County would have additional size to work with, above the 45 square feet permitted, but the sign would be more consistent with Civic Center Zoning District and the Arden Hills Sign Ordinance. . \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cascs\2005\05-1O RCPWF Sign Variance (PENDfNG)\04-06-QS PC Report 05-1 O.doc Page 50f7 Findings and Recommendation . In regard to the Sign Standard Adjustment criteria staff has made the following findings: 1. There are site conditions (traffic, readability for traffic moving 50+ mph) which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site. 2. The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that has potential to enhance the area (one sign for several agencies) and is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site. 3. The sign adjustment will result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the sign district and the zoning district in which the property is located. Therefore, in Planning Case #05-10 staffrecommends denial of the Sign Standard Adjustment based on the aforementioned findings and for the following reasons: 1. While the sign would be visible from Highway 96, the amount of information required for sign and the speed of traffic on Highway 96 (which would increase the need larger text) may require a Sign Standard Adjustment. However, a smaller variance from the Sign Ordinance Standards would still result in greater visibility and would be more consistent with the City's Sign Ordinance Standards. 2. The proposed sign is inconsistent with both the Civic Center Zoning District and Sign . District 6 which anticipated more destination oriented facilities that would not require as much signage as the commercial zoning and signage districts. The proposed sign is much larger than allowed for any commercial zoning and signage districts in the City. Plan Review Comments A. If building or electrical permits are required, applications and plans shall be submitted to the Building Official a minimum of two (2) weeks before the planned start of construction. B. No construction shall begin before plans are approved by the City of Arden Hills' Building Official. C. A Sign Permit is necessary for all sign installation in the City of Arden Hills and would still be required if this sign variance is approved. \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2005\05-10 RCPWF Sign Variance (PENDING)\04-06-05 PC Report OS-lO.doc .

Ramsey County is proposing a high quality monument sign for the County departments and our partners located on the site. Currently the proposed sign design conflicts with certain elements of the Arden Hills Sign Ordinance. Pursuant to Section 333.11 of the Sign Ordinance, Ramsey County is fonnally requesting adjustments to the requirements as outlined in this section. Sign Description. Ramsey County is proposing a monument sign that is roughly 325 square feet including the cabinet and brick base/standard. The cabinet portion of the sign is 174 square feet. The brick material on the base and standard of the proposed sign will match the existing brick on the Public Works/Partner facility. The cabinet will be constructed of anodized aluminum designed to match the metal panel color on the existing facility. The cabinet will include 10" cut out letters identifYing the four major partners on the site. These letters are machine routed and will have internally illuminated white letters. The secondary copy will be 6" white vinyl lettering. The cabinet will be internally illuminated, per the attached drawings. Additionally, Ramsey County is proposing two (2) 500 watt, ground-mounted floodlights. The ground-mounted floodlights will provide a "soft-glow" to the sign, and is not intended as the main illumination. Nordquist Sign Company will professionally construct the cabinet, while MA Mortenson Construction Company will install the footings, brick base and brick standard, and coordinate electric. The area surrounding the sign will be professionally landscaped with rip-rap and shrubbery in a manner consistent with the existing facility landscape. A landscaping plan . will be submitted for approval by City staff.

Page 2 of3 333.11 Sign Standard Adjustments Adjustments to the sign requirements may be approved through the Site Plan Review process if certain criteria are met. An adjustment to the City's Sign Ordinance is justified in this case based upon the criteria outlined in this section, as follows: A. There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonable visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site. Ramsev County Response: The Public WorkslPartner Facility, the SherilTPatrol Station and the proposed Army National Guard Facility are set back several hundred feet from Hwy 96 making them difficult to identify from Hwy 96. Additionally, these facilities and the existing Army National Guard Facility are set back from the Hwy 96 and Hamline A venue intersection, making them equally difficult to identify from this intersection. The proposed location and size of the monwnent sign will allow visitors and vendors to more easily identify these facilities at they approach from either direction on Hwy 96 and/or from Hamline Avenue. B. The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will . enhance the area or that is more consistent with architectural and design of the site. Ramsey County Response: The proposed monwnent sign is of exceptional design and quality materials. This sign has the potential to become the standard for design and materials for future commercial signage as the TCAAP site is developed in the future. The materials proposed in this sign mirror the Public Works/Partner Facility as well as the SherilTPatrol Station, and are a natural extension of the architecture of these structures. The proposed sign will enhance the area by providing immediate direction to visitors and vendors to the site, while blending in with the overall site conditions. C. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located Ramsev County Response: The area of the Public WorkslPartner Facility is zoned Civic Center. The proposed sign is intended a~ a well--designed, well-constructed, informational signage that is consistent with the intent of the Civic Center roning while compliments the surrounding area and structures. The proposed monument sign is tastefully designed, and will enhance the entire site with its high quality materials and its straightforward identification. I hope you will concur, . and provide the COWl!)' with the requested adjustments to allow the momunent sign as proposed . Page 3 of3 I look forward to the opportunity to represent Ramsey County in this request at the Arden Hills Planning Commission meeting on April 7, and the Arden Hills City Council meeting on April 25, 2005. On behalf of the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners, I want to thank you for the opportunity to present this request. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.

(REVISED Plans - 3/30/05) . Monument Sign Alternate Page 1 of I . Hellegers, Peter ____.__.._ From: Thompson, Bruce [Bruce.Thompson@CO.RAMSEY.MN.US] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 20054:26 PM To: Peter. Hellegers (E-mail) Cc: Greg Fenton (E-mail); Dave. Peterson (E.mail) Subject: Monument Sign Alternate Peter, Attached are two (2) drawings. The first one is single line sketch of the revised sign. The second is the site drawing that depicts the revised location of the revised sign. Here is what we are proposing to change: 1. Raise grad~ We will reduce the size of the sign by raising the grade under the sign so that only 1 foot of brick is exposed above the limestone rubble. 2. RJ1Quce text size. We will reduce the size of each text letter by 1" (from 10" to 9" and from 8" to 7"). This alone will reduce the size of the sign by 15" in height. 3. Rgduce O\lerall sion. We propose to reduce the overall size of the sign by 145 s.t. The current mock.up is 330 s.t. and the new sign is proposed at 185 s.f. 4.' 2-sided sign. The revised sign would be 2-sided, as opposed to the single-sided mock-up. This will allow better visibility of the sign from both directions on Hwy 96 and from Hamline Avenue at the Hwy 96 intersection. . The current mock-up is not visible traveling east on Hwy 96. ~_' ReDosition th\Lsignl!l-,,-ation. We propose to mount the 2-sided sign parallel with Hwy 96 approximately 180' west of Hamline Avenue. This will allow better visibility of the sign from both directions on Hwy 96 and from Hamline Avenue at the Hwy 96 intersection. The current mock.up is not visible traveling east on Hwy 96. I believe the reduced size, the 2-sided sign, and the revised position of the sign will better meet the needs of the facility, while addressing some of the concerns regarding the current mock-up sign. I will have additional drawings that provide a better visual description of the revised sign and its location in time for the meeting on April 6. <<Monument sign alternate 3.30.05.pdf>> <<Monument sign alternate location 3.30.05.pdf>> Bruce Th.:mlpson, Ass;stanl Oileelor Ramsey CI)vn"y PIO/W;(ly Managemenl 50 West Kel!c9g Blvd. Suite G60 Sailll Pau( MN 55102 Phone- (651) 206-2262 Fax: (60/) 266-??ti-1 . 3/30/2005 1 ~ ~ ~ i; ~ 1 '-' , I .J."'!)l~ .j".~ J.W:hli1'? al "3 f~ (j J.j Q.:. ci~ Q;..J d-.;j\ I:.~ I!:' 'I t ....~~ ~ -; ~ ~ I ~. ,\ I I I 11. . -H '" I I ~ I , I I -' .

Surrounding Properties Some of the surrounding properties in the area appear to be closer to the property lines that the current Front Yard or Side Yard Comer setbacks of 40 feet. After checking the GIS system, staff would estimate that 10 properties in the Edgewater/Lake/Shoreline neighborhood have closer front or side yard comer setbacks than the standard. Of the ten properties 3 of the properties have setbacks of 12 feet or less. The neighboring property to the west has a 16-side yard comer setback, and the three properties across Edgewater from the applicant's property have front or side yard comer setbacks of 30 feet, 35 feet, and 35 feet. According to City records there have been 2 variances granted for properties in the Edgewater/Lake/Shoreline neighborhood. These variances include a front setback variance of 10 feet for 1146 Edgewater Avenue (2001-31) and a 5-foot front setback variance for 3224 Lake Lane (1997-18). Building Permits Building permits were issued in 1955 for a room addition to the west side of the property and in 1969 for the garage. County records indicate that the house was constructed in 1938. . Site Overview The applicant has requested a 5-foot front yard setback variance and a lO-foot side yard comer setback to allow for the construction of a new house on the property at 1137 Edgewater Avenue. Currently the property has a small existing house and single-car garage on all of Lot 5 and part of Lot 4, of the Josephine Lakc Villas plat. The existing house is small, fairly close to the road, and has been used as a rental property. The proposed 2-story house would have a larger footprint and would be set back greater distances from the road that the existing house and garage. The applicant has stated that he intends to make this new house his permanent residence. This property was originally platted in the Lake Josephine Villas as I Y2 50 x 124.36 foot lots. It appears that the building was constructed on Lot 5 and the south 25 feet of Lot 4 was acquired later on. While the width of75 feet is preferable to the original 50-foot lot dimension, both the lot dimensions and lot area are still smaller than the current R-2 requirements. In addition, since this was originally platted as multiple properties and has since been joined together as one tax parcel, the property is not one legal lot. The property should be re-platted to be one lot; otherwise the structure is technically being constructed over a property line. It appears that a similar situation with an applicant (1146 Edgewater [across the street and one property west of \\EarthIPJanningIPJanning Cases\2005\05-J J Karja/ah'" Variance (PENDING)104-06-05 PC Report Karjalahti Vo.riance.doc . Page 2 of7 . the current applicant's property]) proposing construction of a home over two legal lots occurred in 2001 but was erroneously not re-platted. The trigger for the platting is the tear down and construction of a new structure over the legal lot line. Therefore, staff has included a recommendation that re-platting the property be a condition of approval. The property would require a platting variance due to the lot size and dimensions (75 x 124.36 and 9,327 s.f. where 85 x 120 and 11,000 s.f. are required). 1. Setbacks - Does Not Meet Requirements Front Yard 40' 19' 35' (Shoreline Lane) (to garage) Rear Yard 30' 19' 30' Side Yard Interior 5' smallest side / 15.41' / 54.41' 11' /41' Principal 15' total Side Yard Comer - Principal and Accessory 40' 15.41 ' 30' (Edgewater Avenue) . 2. Lot Coverage - Meets Requirement The requirement for the R-2: Single and Two Family Residential District is a maximum of25%. The proposed plans show 18 % as lot coverage. 3. Landscape Lot Area - Meets Requirement The requirement for R-2: Single and Two Family Residential District is a Minimum Landscape Lot Area of 65%. The proposed plans show 70.10% of the lot as landscape area. 4. Lot Size/Dimensions - Does Not Meet Requiremenl The requirement for R-2: Single and Two Family Residential District are Minimum Lot Width of 85 feet and a Minimum Lot Depth of 120 feel. The dimensions of the applieant's property are 75 by 124.26 feel. The requirement for R-2: Single and Two Family Residential District Lot Size is 11,000 square feel. The size ofthe applicant's property is 9,327 square feel.

State Requirements Minnesota State Statue in Chapter 462.357, Subdivision 6, (2), defines "undue hardship" . as: " . . .means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls, the plight ofthe landowner is due to circumstance unique to the property not created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character ofthe locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use ofthe property exists under the terms ofthe ordinance..." B. City Requirements Section VIII, D, 4, c and d, of the City's Zoning Ordinance state that, "Adherence to the provisions of this ordinance is required, except for special cases which arise because of the configuration of a particular parcel. The condition shall not have been created by the landowner. A variance or variances may be granted from specific provisions of this ordinance because such land factors as length of a side of a lot, the shape of the lot or the unusual terrain prohibit reasonable development equivalent to that which would be permitted without variance on a similar size lot located in the same district, but which lot has no unusual configuration. Economic conditions alone shall not be grounds for a variance. In no case shall the granting of a variance impair the health, safety, comfort and general welfare ofthe public, nor will it be contrary to the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan, the official map or this or any other . ordinance of the City." Variance Findinl!s Minnesota State Stature 462.357, subd. 6, requires that Cities consider the following five matters when hearing requests for zoning ordinance variances. 1. Are the circumstances for which the variance is requested unique to the property? (YES) The property was platted as a very small lot plus half of another small lot, and the house was built with a very small side yard corner setback and front yard setback. The location of the property as a corner lot further reduces the buildable area of the lot. The neighborhood where the property is located was originally platted with all of the lots as 50 by 124.36 feet. Many of the homes in the area have been built on two or more lots, The remaining homes that were built on the original lots could not be built today while still complying with the City's setbacks. The number of lots this small in the City is very' small, smaller still is the number of those lots which are corner properties and therefore have to comply with the side yard corner setbacks as well. 11EarthlPlanninglPlanning Cases\2005105-/1 Karja/uhf; Varwnce (PENDING)\04~06-05 PC Report Karja/uhfi Variance,doc . Page 4 of7 2. Would granting the variance be in keeping with the spirit and intent ofthe City's . Zoning Ordinance? The stated Purpose and Intent of the City's Zoning Ordinance includes thirteen purposes, of those the following statements appear to be applicable: This ordinance is enacted for the following purposes: . To promote the general public health, safety, comfort and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota. (l,B,I) . To promote the proper use ofland and structures. (I,B,6) . To fix reasonable standards to which buildings, structures and land shall conform for the benefit of all (l,B,7) The stated purpose ofthe R-2: Single and Two Family Residential District as stated in Section 5, D, 2 is: . To establish areas for the development of single and two family housing at a maximum density of approximately 5 units per net acre. . To reserve development areas for single and two family housing. . To restrict encroachment of incompatible uses. . To maintain density limitations. . To take advantage of municipal utilities. . To preserve open space. e (YES) The applicant's proposal for the subject property complies with the intent of the R-2 District and the Zoning Ordinance by maintaining density limitations and allowing the applicant to maintain the property for a single-family residential structure. Many of the structures surround the applicant's property are as close or closer to the front property line and the construction of the new house would create larger front and side- yard corner setbacks than the existing house while allowing the applicant to improve the property with construction of the new house. The variance would allow for the construction of a new house on this property while improving the setback situation over the existing non-conforming building. 3. Could the property in question be put to a reasouable use without the granting of the variance? (NO) The additional setbacks due to the corner location create a very small building envelope on what was already a small lot. A reasonable house and garage structure could not be built and meet both the front and rear setbacks without a variance. If the building were shifted to the north it may destroy several of the existing trees on the site and would leave very little space for drainage between the house and the north property line. e \\EarthIPlanningIPlonning CasesI2005\05~I} KarjaJahti Variance (PENDIN6j104-06-05 PC Report KarjalahJi Variance.doc Page 50f7 4. Was the hardship created by the owner? (NO) The lot was platted long before the City's current size standards and setback . regulations. Any construction on this site of a reasonable structure would result in the need for a variance of some kind. 5. Wonld granting the variance alter the essential character ofthe neighborhood? (NO) The new house would enhance the character of the neighborhood by removing a substandard structure and replacing it with an attractive modern home. Several of the properties in the surrounding area are closer to the front or side yard property lines than the City's standard setbacks would otherwise allow. Recommendation In Planning Case #05-11, staff recommends that the request for a 10- foot Side Yard setback variance and a 5-foot Front Yard setback variance be approved to allow for the construction of a new home on the property at 1137 Edgewater Avenue subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall file all necessary building permits with the Building Official for approval prior to the issuance of a building permit. Building permit plans shall be submitted to the Building Official a minimum of two (2) weeks before the planned start of construction. e 2. A drainage swale should be constructed along the western portion of the property to collect the drainage water flowing westward down the hill of the property and carry the drainage toward the street. A revised grading and drainage plan showing this drainage swale shall require the approval of the Arden Hills City Engineer prior to the issuance of any building permits. 3. A revised grading and drainage plan showing the elevation ofthe first floor and basement and the surrounding property shall be submitted to the City and shall require approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of any building permits. 4. The applicant shall be required to plat the property prior to the issuance of any building permits. Plan Review Comments A. Building Permit Plans shall be submitted to the Building Official a minimum of two (2) weeks before the planned start of construction. B. No construction shall begin before plans are approved by the City of Arden Hills' Building Official. C. Appropriate sediment and erosion controls shall be installed prior to any construction activity to insure that any sediment disturbed during construction shall maintain on the applicant's property and not affect the neighboring properties. \\EarthIPlanningIPlanning Cases12005\05-11 Karjalahti Variance (PENDING)\04-06-05 PC Report Karjalahti Variance. doc e Page 60f7 . D. The plans show that half of the height of the first floor and the basement will be located at an elevation below that of the garage. The result may be that the structure would have water seepage into the first floor or basement of the home. The applicant should review the grading and elevation and shall provide a revised grading and drainage plan, showing the elevations of the floors and the elevations of the surrounding property, which shall require the approval of the City Engineer prior to the issuance of any building permits. E. According to the proposed plans, the location of the proposed patio appears to encroach into the root area of the large Maple tree. The applicant should review the plans and may want to have a longer, rectangular patio that stretches out along the side of the house to help preserve the health and root structure of the Maple tree. F. Ramsey County property information shows that the existing structure has asbestos siding which will require that the siding be removed and disposed of properly. Options 1. Recommend approval as submitted. 2. Recommend approval with conditions. 3. Recommend denial with reasons for denial. If the City denies the petitioners request, "...it must state in writing the reasons for the denial at the time it denies the request." 4. Table for additional information. . Deadline for Al!encv Actions The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on March 7, 2005 Pursuant to Minnesota State Statue, the City must act on this request by May 6, 2005 (60 days), unless the city provides the petitioner with written reasons for and additional 60 day review period. The City may with the petitioners' consent extend the review period beyond the 120 days. Resident Comments The neighboring property owner from 3233 Shoreline Lane visited City Hall with questions about the variance. The neighbor had some concerns about the preservation of the spruce trees at the NE comer of the property, the direction of drainage, property lines, and the proximity of the proposed structure to the neighbor's property line. Staff has not received any other comments from residents on this variance request.

FilinQ Requirements and Payment of Fees The City requests that you make a pre-application meeting with the City Planner to discuss the application process, requirements, and deadlines, The undersigned acknowledges that she/he understands that before this request can be considered, all required information and fees (including all deposits) must be paid to the City in advance. If additional fees are required to cover costs incurred by the City, the City Planner has the right to require additional payment from one or more of the undersigned, who Shall be jointly liable for such fees. Such expenses may include (but are not limited to) . direct city payroll and overhead costs. fees paid to consultants and other prOfessionals, and the cost of printing, mailing, and supplies. The City may withhold final action on a land use application and/or rescind prior action until all miscellaneous fees have been paid. Applicants are advised that an escrow deposit is required at the time of the submittal of the Land Use Application to offset costs associated with the proposed project. Required Submittal Information The City of Arden Hills requires the following submittals for all Land Use Applications; . A certified land survey, . Site plan(s) (for all development projects), . Five (5) large scale copies, folded in sets no larger than 8 y," x 14" with the print side facing out. . Fifty (50) copies of 11" x 17" reductions of ALL PLANS MUST BE 3-HOLE PUNCHED AND Z- FOLDED, . Mailing labels of all properties within 350 feet of the property (this information may be obtained from Ramsey County). True and accurate representation of the requirements outlined in the procedural form for the specified type of request is the responsibility of the applicant. Complete/Incomplete Applications An incomplete application will delay the processing of land use requests, The application approval time commences and an application is considered officially filed when the City Planner has received and . examined the application and determined that the application is complete. A decision on whether the application is complete or incomplete shall be made within fifteen (15) days following the submittal of the application, When the application is deemed to be "complete" it shall be placed on the agenda of the first possible Planning Commission meeting occurring at least thirty (30) days from the date of official submission of the application. Page 2 01'3 . March 7, 2005 To the City of Arden Hills, The reason for this variance request is to enable the construction of a new 2 story single family home, The house that is currently on the property is very old (85 yrs,) and doesn't represent the nature or standard of other homes in the neighborhood that were built more recently. The proposed building will more closely mateh the homes directly adjacent to 1137 Edgewater and also throughout most of the neighborhood, There are several reasons that prompted the need for a variance, The small 50 ft. lot sizes make the 40 it. setbacks impractical. The property at 1137 Edgewater is 1 'I, lots or 75 ft. by 124 ft. A smaller building plan will be needed to fit this size lot but a variance would also still be needed, Another feature that is unique to this lot is the location on Edgewater Ave and Sboreline Lane. Because of thc recent pavement improvement project, Shoreline lane is now a city street making 1137 Edgewater Ave, a corner lot. Prior to the project, Shoreline lane was just a driveway to the single family home to the north of 1137 Edgewater. Even now that it is a city street, it still only serves the I home and is only 20 ft. wide and is a dead end, Arden Hills zoning code for corner lots requires a setback of 40 ft. from both Edgewater Ave, and Shoreline Lane making this an undue hardship on the property (1137 Edgewater) which otherwise would have had a smaller setback if it were not considered a corner lot. The final reason for the . needed variance is the location of the mature trees on the property, In order to preserve a large Silver Maple and 6 or 7 Spruce, White and Red pines the variance would allow the building to be placed 10 feet closer to Edgewater Ave., giving these trees the space they need to grow, The granting of this variance would provide several things to the Edgewater Ave, neighborhood and to the City of Arden Hills, First it would provide a safe, modern, up to current standards home that would add to the value of all the neighboring properties, It would also solve the problem of how to build on a difficult to build on lot, due to the unusual street layouts and the differing lot sizes, It would also preserve the natural features and trees on the lot. And finally it would enhance the character of the neighborhood by precisely locating and building a modern single family home that would closely resemble the style and features of the other nearby homes and also provide enough space for new trees and landscaping for future growth in the Edgewaler/Lake Josephine area. I hope to make this home Illy permanent residence and perhaps retirement home and look forward to working with the staff at the City of Arden Hills to make this home a reality, Thank you for your consideration, /Udv~, . . - - ~I tfH I I I - I tfH II -- I i itfH I " '. = = I - ._, ::::=::::: IEEE I~I tm I~I tm I~ ./ ~ ---->>( , _ltfHll I ,0 ItfHl ItfH I, -- .---------.....---- .. --------- - ~ ./~/~...........,./...../ -r U FRONT ELEVATION . . , ~~i ,~ ,~~ ~f<L~C~~:~~ HB=tfB I B:B - = = .' s:; ~:::= :::::: ~;:: .

The shared access was a condition of approval for the original development of the site and other conditions of approval, which was the turnaround was not met, so therefore, the Commission did not know how the site functions if that condition was in place, 3, Multiple accesses to the property and the proximity to the Victoria and Amble intersection would be more confusing and dangerous to traffic on Lexington Avenue and to the occupants, The applicants have reviewed the Planning Commission's direction and have attempted to answer some of the Planning Commission's previous questions, Attachments 5A-2 and.5A-3 include additional information that was submitted by the applicants, The information includes \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2005\05-09 Radziej and SabOl Driveway Variances (PENDJNG)\04-06-05 PC Report Rodziej and Sabot . Dri\'ev.'ay Variances_doc Page 1 of7 --- ---- -- --- , additional narrative, pictures and site plans with better definition, In general the information , looks at the lack of area for constructing turn-around spaces off of the driveway without "e removing or damaging the large trees around the entryway, and small auxiliary signs (to meet ( code) which would read "enter only" and "exit only" to improve the functionality of the proposed driveways, The applicants are proposing that the existing shared driveway would be the entrance and the two proposed driveways would be the exit drives, Site Overview Section 6F3c6 of the Zoning Ordinance which allows single family uses only one (I) access per property. The applicants are requesting a variance to allow the existing shared driveway to remain while installing two additional driveways; one for each property. The new driveways would connect to the existing shared driveway and allow the applicants to more safely access their properties. The applicants have stated that the property can be very dangerous to access in its current shared drive arrangement since oftentimes a vehicle will be trying to exit at the same time a vehicle is attempting to enter the driveway, In addition to the access issues, the applicants do not have any on street parking due to the location along Lexington Avenue, Therefore, any guests that the applicants may have would need to park in the space provided in the driveway. The Zoning Ordinance only allows four vehicles to be parked in a driveway at a time, if those spaces are occupied it would be very difficult to access either property, As part of the Lexington Avenue reconstruction project a center median will divide the northbound and southbound traffic directly re in front of the access for these two properties, The applicants have been in contact with Ramsey County and the County has agreed to allow the three driveways to Lexington provided that the driveways are at least 60 feet apart. The Ramsey County project engineer stated that it is the County's preference to have vehicles entering Lexington A venue front first rather than attempting to back out onto the roadway. Variance Criteria A. State Requirements Minnesota State Statue in Chapter 462.357, Subdivision 6, (2), defines "undue hardship" as: "" ,means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstance unique to the property not created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality, Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use of the property exists under the terms of the ordinance, ,. " \\Ear1h\Planning\Planning Cases\2005\05-09 Radziej and Sabot Driveway Variances (PENDING)\04-06-05 PC Report Rodziej and Sabot Dri\'eway Variances.doc . Page 2 of7 . B. City Requirements Section VIII, D, 4, c and d, ofthe City's Zoning Ordinance state that, "Adherence to the provisions of this ordinance is required, except for special cases which arise because of the configuration of a particular parcel. The condition shall not have been created by the landowner. A variance or variances may be granted from specific provisions of this ordinance because such land factors as length of a side of a lot, the shape of the lot or the unusual terrain prohibit reasonable development equivalent to that which would be permitted without variance on a similar size lot located in the same district, but which lot has no unusual configuration. Economic conditions alone shall not be grounds for a variance, In no case shall the granting of a variance impair the health, safety, comfort and general welfare ofthe public, nor will it be contrary to the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan, the official map or this or any other ordinance ofthe City," Variance Findinl!s Minnesota State Stature 462.357, subd. 6, requires that Cities consider the following five matters when hearing requests for zoning ordinance variances, . 1. Are the circumstances for which the variance is requested unique to the property? . (YES) The properties have the unique feature of a shared driveway. While there are other properties in the City that have shared driveways, the combination of the shared driveway with several other features such as; no on-street parking at the location, the speed of traffic on Lexington Avenue, the amount ofvehicle trips per day on Lexington Avenue, and the lack of shoulders to provide a safe access; create a very unique situation for the applicants, The properties are located with Karth Lake on the west, the park to the south and are cut off from any access except for directly to Lexington Avenue. Since the properties will have some access removed with the installation of the center median in the Lexington Avenue Reconstruction. the additional driveways would provide better access for the property owners. Other properties in Arden Hills may be located along busy streets or have shared driveways but staff has not encountered any other properties that have the same combination of situations as outlined above, Properties along Highway 96 or Hamline Avenue may have access to a busy roadway but these properties either have roadway shoulders where they can move to when trying to access their properties or have far less \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\1005\05-09 Radziej and Sabol Dliveway Variances (PENDING}\04-06-05 PC Report Rodziej and Sabot . Oriveway Variances.doc Page 3 0/7 , traffic. Furthermore, staff has not seen an instance where one of these properties also has a shared driveway. . The applicants have expressed concern that with the existing shared drive is difficult for vehicles to enter and exit the properties at the same time, Since there is no shoulder on Lexington and the reconstruction would eliminate any left-turn in access, a vehicle could be stuck on Lexington Avenue waiting to access the property, The proposed additional driveways would eliminate such situations and provide safer access for both properties. 2, Would granting the variance be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the City's Zoning Ordinance? The stated Purpose and Intent of the City's Zoning Ordinance includes thirteen purposes, of those the following statements appear to be applicable: This ordinance is enacted for the following purposes: . To promote the general public health, safety, comfort and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota. (l,B,I) . To promote the proper use ofland and structures, (I ,B,6) . To fix reasonable standards to which buildings, structures and land shall conform for the benefit of all (l,B,7) The stated purpose of the R-I: Single Family Residential District as stated in Section 5,D,l is as follows: . . To establish areas for the development of single family detached housing at a maximum density of approximately 3 units per acre. . To reserve development areas for single-family housing, . To restrict encroachment of incompatible uses, . To maintain density limitations, . To take advantage of municipal utilities, . To preserve open space, (YES) The applicants' proposal is consistent with the R-l District and the Zoning Ordinance purposes. The applicants are requesting the variances due to the reduced access (created by the new center median that will be installed in Lexington Avenue) and concerns about difficulty accessing their properties. The standardfor one driveway access per property is intended to limit access on residential property to maintain a residential appearance for single-family homes, However, there is a large difference between aesthetic impact on a residential property on a typical neighborhood street where the traffic is only traveling 25 or 30 miles per hour, versus a property on a major arterial where traffic is traveling 45 to 50 miles per hour, \\Earth\PJanning\Planning Cases\2005\05-09 Radziej and Sabot Driveway Variances (PENDING)\04-06-05 PC Report Rodziej and Sabot Driveway Variances,doc Page 4 of7 . , 3, Could the property in question be put to a reasonable use without the granting of . the variance? (NO) The properties were subdivided and granted a lakeshore setback variance in 1995 subject to 3 conditions of approval. One of the conditions was the shared access drive; another was the installation of one turn-around for each property, While the shared driveway was constructed, it appears that the turn-arounds were not. However, with the limited amount of space between the homes and Lexington Avenue, a turn-around may interfere with the limited off-street parking areas, In addition, the residents have stated that there have been several times where one vehicle is exiting and another is attempting to enter the drive, the shared driveway makes it difficult to access the properties. Traffic that has to wait on Lexington Avenue to access the property presents a real safety hazard for the applicants and for others traveling on Lexington Avenue, 4. Was the hardship created by the owner? (NO) The hardship appears to be that the City allowed these lots to be subdivided in 1995 and in the process did not leave the properties with adequate access, Neither of the property owners was present at the time the properties were subdivided and this situation was created, Furthermore. the properties do not have on-street parking on Lexington Avenue and the lack of adequate roadway shoulders makes turning to access the driveways difficult and potentially dangerous. The applicants are seeking the additional . driveways as a way to have a safer and better access situation, 5. Would granting the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? (NO) Outside of the applicants' properties no other property in the Karth Lake North neighborhood has direct access to Lexington Avenue, Furthermore, the speed and amount of traffic on Lexington Avenue, decreased access to the applicants' properties due to the impending center median, lack of a shoulder area for making turns, and the current shared driveway, can make it very difficult for the applicants to access their properties. The variances would allow for safer access for the residents of the two properties, Plan Review Comments A.

Ramsey County indicated that they require 60 feet between driveways, . D, Applicants will need to contact Ramsey County about curb-cut permits prior to the installation of any new driveway, E. Zoning Ordinance regulations state that in all residential districts, parking is prohibited on any area of the property except on designated driveways or parking lots, The Zoning Ordinance also prohibits more than four vehicles from being parked on a driveway, Recommendation In Planning Case #05-09, staff recommends that the request for variances to allow one new driveway at 4365 and one new driveway at 4367 while maintaining the existing shared driveway be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicants shall submit Zoning Permits with plans to the Building Official a minimum of two (2) weeks before the planned start of construction, 2. The applicants will require approval from Ramsey County for the curb-cuts prior to the installation of any new driveway, 3, The driveways shall be constructed within the City standard for driveway widths of a 12 foot minimum and a 22 foot maximum. 4. There shall be at least 60 feet between each driveway access, 5. Auxiliary signage shall be installed which identifies the entry drive and the exit drives. 6, The access drives shall be reviewed by the City Engineer and County Traffic Engineer, installation ofthe access drives can only proceed after approval of the access drive design . by both the City Engineer and County Engineer. 7. Parking shall comply with the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance requirements of no parking on any areas except for driveways and parking lots, and shall not have more than 4 vehicles may be parked on any driveway, Options 1. Recommend approval as submitted, 2, Recommend approval with conditions, 3, Recommend denial with reasons for denial. If the City denies the petitioners request, "...it must state in writing the reasons for the denial at the time it denies the request." 4, Table for additional information.

The properties are located with Karth Lake on the west, the park to the south and are cut off from any access except for directly to Lexington Avenue, Since the properties will have some access removed with the installation of the center median in the Lexington Avenue Reconstruction, the additional driveways would provide better access for the . property owners. Other properties in Arden Hills may be located along busy streets or have shared driveways but staff has not encountered any other properties that have the same combination of situations as outlined above, Properties along Highway 96 or Hamline Avenue may have access to a busy roadway but these properties either have roadway shoulders where they can move to when trying to access their properties or have far less traffic, Furthermore, staff has not seen an illstance where olle of these properties also has a shared driveway. The applicants have expressed concern that with the existing shared drive is difficult for vehicles to enter and exit the properties at the same time, Since there is no shoulder on Lexington and the recollstructioll would eliminate any left-turn in access, a vehicle could be stuck on Lexington Avellue waiting to access the property. The proposed additional driveways would eliminate such sitllations alld provide safer access for both properties. 2, Would granting the variance be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the City's Zoning Ordinance? The stated Purpose and Intent ofthe City's Zoning Ordinance includes thirteen purposes, of those the following statements appear to be applicable; \\F:Hth\Plal111ing\Planning Cases\200S\05-09 Radziej and Sabot Drivc\\'ay Variances (PENDlN(j)\02-02-05 PC Report Kod7iej and Sabot .

To promote the general public health, safety, comfort and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota. (I ,B, I) . To promote the propcr use ofland and structures, (1,B,6) . To fix reasonable standards to which buildings, structures and land shall conform for the benefit of a]] (I,B,7) The stated purpose of the R-]: Single Family Residential District as stated in Section S,D,I is as follows; . To establish areas for the development of single family detached housing at a maximum density of approximately 3 units pcr acre. . To reserve development areas for single.family housing, . To restrict encroachment of incompatible uses, . To maintain density limitations. . To take advantage of municipal utilities. . To preserve opcn space, (YES) The applicants' proposal is consistent with the R-1 District and the Zoning Ordinance purposes, The applicants are requesting the variances due to the reduced access (created by the new center median that will be instal/ed in Lexington Avenue) and concerns about difficult)! accessing their properties.

Could the property in question be put to a reasonable use without the granting of the variance? (NO) The properties were subdivided and granted a lakeshore sethack variance in 1995 subject to 3 conditions of approval. One of the conditions was the shared access drive; another was the instal/at ion oj one turn-around Jor each property. While the shared driveway was constructed, it appears that the turn-a rounds were not. However, with the limited amount oJspace between the homes and Lexinglon Avenue, a turn-around may intelfere with the limited ojJstreet parking areas. In addition, the residents have stated that there have been several times where one vehicle is exiting and another is attempting to enter the drive. the shared driveway makes it difficult to access the properties. Traffic that has to wait on Lexington Avenue to access the property presents a real saJety hazard Jar the applicants and Jor others traveling on Lexington Avenue, \\Ea11h\J'lanning\Planning Cases\2005\05-09 Rild7iej and SabOl Driveway V;:nianccs (Pt:ND!l'Gj\02^02-0:; PC Report Ror.J,-:i<:j and Sabnl . Drivew;JY Variances.doc Page 5 oI7 . 4, Was the hardship created by the owner? (NO) The hardship appears to be that the City allowed these lots to be subdivided in 1995 and in the process did not leave the properties with adequate access. Neither of the property owners was present at the time the properties were subdivided and this situation was created, Furthermore, the properties do not have on-street parking on Lexington Avenue and the lack of adequate roadway shoulders makes turning to access the driveways difficult and potentially dangerous. The applicants are seeking the additional driveways as a way to have a safer and better access situation, 5. Would granting the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? (NO) Outside of the applicants' properties no other property in the Karth Lake North neighhorhood has direct access to Lexington Avenue, Furthermore, the speed and amount of traffic on Lexington Avenue, decreased access to the applicants' properties due to the impending center median, lack of a shoulder area for making turns. and the current shared driveway, can make it very difficult for the applicants to access their properties, The variances would allow for safer access/or the residents of the two properties, .

PLANNING CASE #05-09: DAVID RADZIEJ AND ROGER SABOT, 4365 AND 4367 LEXINGTON A VENUE; DRIVEWAY VARIANCES Mr. Hel1egers stated applicants were requesting variances to allow them to maintain the existing shared driveway and add an additional driveway for each of the applicant's propelties in the City. Staff recommended approval based on the following conditions: 1. The applicants shall submit Zoning Permits with plans to the Building Official a minimum of two (2) weeks before the planned start of construction, 2, The applicants will require approval from Ramsey County for the cub-cuts prior to the installation of any new driveway. 3, The driveways shall be constructed to meet the City standard width of a 12-foot minimum and a 22- foot maximum, 4. There shall be at least 60 feet between each driveway access, 5. Parking shall comply with the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance requirements of no parking on any areas except for driveways and parking lots, and shall not have more than 4 vehicles may be parked on any driveway. Commissioner Zimmerman asked why previous conditions that had not been met had not been checked on, Mr. Hellegers replied he did not know why those conditions had not . been checked up on by staff in 1995, Commissioner Zimmerman asked whose responsibility was it that conditions imposed on the property were met. Mr. Hellegers replied it was City staffs responsibility, Chair Sand stated there was an e-mail received from a neighbor on 1090 Amble Drive objecting to the request on five grounds. Commissioner Bezdicek asked why where they retallllllg the eXlstlllg driveway and adding two additional ones, Mr. Hellegers replied it would provide better access for the applicants, Chair Sand asked if there was anything in the Zoning Ordinance or the Comprehensive Plan that would limit the addition of a driveway here. He noted mature trees would be lost to make room for the new driveways. Mr. Hellegers replied there were no conditions protecting those trees, Chair Sand asked if it would be a right turn in and right turn out. Mr. Hel1egers replied that was correct. Commissioner Larson asked who created the hardship, Mr. Hellegers replied this was done by a previous owner. . Commissioner Larson asked if they had originally agreed to the shared driveway, Mr, Hellegers replied that was correct. Commissioner Larson noted with Lexington being a commuter street, he assumed the reason for the shared driveway was to eliminate accesses on Lexington, He stated it --- -------..--..---- ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 3 . appeared to him that whoever built these homes did not comply with the conditions of approval and because they did not comply, they were being asked to add two more access to this, He indicated they had never tried this and now there would be no left turns, He stated it seemed to him that whoever did the initial construction did not follow the direction of the conditions of approval. Commissioner Larson stated since each of these homes were allowed to have an access to the street in front of it, the site could have been modified to a]]ow a driveway for each of these houses and that could be approved by staff. Mr. Hellegers replied Council would have needed to remove the original condition of approval. He noted one of the problems with a shared access drive was the 20 foot access point, which was a tight access point. Commissioner Thompson asked if a turnaround option was looked at. Mr. Hellegers replied that option had not been discussed and he could not find any prior documentation regarding that option. Commissioner Zimmerman asked how wide the existing driveway was. Mr. Hellegers replied the existing driveway was 20 feet. Commissioner Zimmerman noted it appeared the driveway was at least 2 cars wide. Chair Sand asked if they had looked at the option of widening the existing driveway. Mr. . Hellegers replied they had not looked at that option, He noted both the County and the applicants had indicated it was a problem for a single access point and that was the reason they had not looked at that option. Chair Sand noted widening the existing driveway would save a lot ofthe vegetation, Chair Sand opened the public hearing at 7;35 p.m, Chair Sand invited anyone for or against this application to come forward and make comment. Email dated February 19,2005 from Aladin Hassan, 1090 Amble Drive, Shoreview: "I. More driveways on Lexington Ave at that spot is creating more dangerous situation for everyone going south on Lexington from east of Amble Dr. because the only way to get to the free way 694 is to turn south on Lexington, 2. It is already very bad during rush hours at the present time. 3. My understanding everywhere is eliminating the number of driveway access on busy roads for PUBLIC safety reasons and the plan I received in the mail showed that there wi]] be THREE DRIVEWAYS instead of ONE'!' 4. l'm sure it is more hazardous for that very busy main road, 5. How many driveways in very short distance (and close to two cross sections) the drivers on that Extremely busy rood (sic) will be watching ??? And if the city agree on that whey (sic) they want to retain the existing driveway isn't bad enough now'! . I hope the city of Arden Hills does not approve that plan" ,Thanks." Kathy Rodziej, 43565 Lexington A venue, stated they had lived in their home for six months and previous to them moving in the home had been owned by a single person, -..-.-.------ ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 4 . Beverly Sabot, 4367 Lexington Avenue, stated it was difficult to make the turn into the driveway with the speed limit of 40 mph on Lexington Avenue, She noted there the Rodziej's had teenage drivers and this was a safety issue, Roger Sabot stated two huge mature trees would need to be removed if they widened the driveway, He noted the driveway was not wide enough for two cars to go in and out comfortably, He believed the driveway was 22 feet. He stated they were the first owners after the people who originally built it. He notcd putting in two additional driveways would not take out any substantial vegetation. Chair Sand noted for safety purposes, it might be safer to eliminate the existing driveway and put in the two new drivcways, Ms, Rodziej stated in that type of a situation, they would have to go past their garage and would need to turn around to get into their garage, She noted they also had recreational vehicles where it would be difficult to get into the driveway if the existing driveway was eliminated. Commissioner Zimmern1an asked if they had talked about a turnaround, Ms, Rodziej stated tonight's meeting was the first time they had heard about a turnaround. Chair Sand asked if this were to be approved, who would approve the geometry of the driveway to ensure it was angled properly onto Lexington. Mr. Hellegers replied the City . Engineer and/or the Ramsey County Engineers would need to work out the geometry of the driveways. Commissioner Bezdicek stated more driveways on a busy road were more dangerous, Ms, Rodziej statcd they would enter in the center driveway and exit out the other driveway, Mr. Sabot replied they felt they could get into the traffic on Lexington Avenue fastcr with their proposal. He expressed concern that the spced on Lexington A vel]Ue would increase, which will also make the existing driveway unsafe. Ms. Sabot noted most of their vegetation was removed when the sewer system came through. Mr. Sabot indicated they wanted to preserve their large trees, Commissioner Thompson stated the natural tendency would be to take the first driveway. She expressed concern that if these homes werc sold at some point in the future, the new owners may not be as cooperativc, Letter from Leonard E, Gallus, 1104 Amble Drive, dated February 21, 2005: "} , I need to have further information to understand how an extra 12' x 100' . driveway extension starting by my backyard, and angling across the front of the property and connecting to the existing driveway will help the Sabots to access Lexington Avc. They still can only tUlll to the right and go South at any of the dliveways_ ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 5 . 2, When these 2 lots were developed some 7 years ago, it was my understanding that for safety reasons there would be a eommon entranee to the residences, Today, with increased traffic flow on Lexington Ave, the addition of two entrances could make for an even less safe condition than was thought of 7 years ago, This would be a short distance on a roadway like Lexington and could add to motorist confusion, 3. The entire neighborhoods ofKarth Lake Hills and Karth Lake Estates are able to access Lexington Ave, with little backup and only 2 entrances/exits to Lexington Ave, Additional Concerns: Trees and natural woodland removal Lights from vehicles using the Sabot driveway shining into my backyard Water runoff toward my yard; their property elevation is slightly higher than mine Visual privacy My home value It has recently come to my attention that the Sabot residenee is not complying with some Arden Hills residential regulations. The Sabots have conducted an internet shopping business out of their Lexington Ave, . home since shortly after moving in, (about 4 years) Apparently clients eome to their home to learn how to use the internet site and do their own business, This business seems to be sporadic, and has been less activity recently, I have been recently infonned by Peter Hellegers of the following regulations regarding home businesses: 1. A license is needed 2, Driveways should not have more than 4 ears on them 3, Time restrietions for conducting the business The Sabots have not eomplied with the above regulations. At times the Sabot's have customers whose cars take up their driveway and sometimes require additional parking in front of my house on Amble Drive, The days ofthe week vary, but it seems that most activity is on the weekends, The time is generally early evening, and ending usually by II :00 PM I am very concerned that the real need for the driveways is for their business concerns, If they get the additional driveway and are able to use the new extension for business . parking, I will at times have a parking lot view from both inside my home and even more lack of privacy in my backyard," Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 7:52 p,m, ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 2, 2005 6 . Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman to recommend denial of Planning Case No. 05-09: David Radziej and Roger Sabot, 4365 and 4367 Lexington Avenue; Driveway Variances, reasons for denial: 1. The lack of detail plans and the engineering necessary to show exactly what the dynamics of the access are going to be. The owncrs have the opportunity to work this out between the City and the County Engineers and come up with a better engineered plan than submitted, 2. The shared access was a condition of approval for the original development of the site and other conditions of approval, which was the turnaround was not met, so therefore, the Commission did not know how the site functions if that condition was in place, 3, multiple accesses to the property and the proximity to the Victoria and Amble intersection would be more confusing and dangerous to traffic on Lexington Avenue and to the occupants. Commissioner Larson believed the applicants did have access problems and he could look much more favorably on this if there were detailed engmeenng plans. Commissioner Thompson agreed. Commissioner Zimmerman understood applicant's thoughts wanting two additional driveways, hut he did not see how the logistics would work. Chair Sand stated he believed it was not the applicant's fault that the turnaround was not put in, but this should have been taken care of at the time the building permit was issued, . He shared the other Commissioner's concerns and indicated he might be more amenable going along with this proposal with detailed Engineering's plans, The motion carried unanimously (5-0), Roger Sabot stated they were not informed by the County that they needed a detailed drawing; that they only needed a sketch, which is what they presented, B.

March 23, 2005 Mr. Peter Hellegers City Planner City Of Arden Hills Dear Mr, Hellegers, This letter is in response to the concerns of the Arden Hills Planning Commission from the meeting dated March 2, 2005, Planning Case #05-09, The homeowners would like to address the following three areas of concern: 1. The need for detailed plans and the dynamics of the accesses, Please note the enclosed detailed pictures showing distances between accesses, tree removal, and driveway details. The existing access would be a shared entrance. The mailboxes mark the entrance, with address numbers, and address signage to show a potential visitor where to turn into the properties. The requested accesses would be for exiting the properties and would not have address signage on . them. The correlation of the access to the properties is not obvious because the homes are screened by foliage, Designating an entrance and exit for the properties would eliminate the dangerous situation of a vehicle exiting the existing access and a vehicle traveling south on Lexington turning into the access with inadequate turn radius requiring them to stop on Lexington while the exiting car moves into traffic, The danger from two lane traffic traveling at a speed of 40 mph or higher towards a stopped vehicle and a vehicle hurrying to exit could be fatal. Homeowners and visitors will utilize the main entrance because of high signage visibility and homeowners verbal instruction and they will exit because of ease of traffic pattern. 2. The second concern was the original condition of developing the property with turnarounds. This condition was imposed on the original builders and was not enforced when the properties were developed. Both homeowners were unaware of this condition and neither property has area planned for a turnaround. Other properties in Arden Hills are allowed at a minimum of one access each, The homeowners are not asking for three accesses for one property but 1 1/2 for each property. Most homeowner that live on a residential street can back out of their driveway onto the street and do not require a turnaround. Because the properties would back onto Lexington, a busy, county road, this is not a safe option, The Commission could suggest each property owner have a separate access but this would require both homeowners to destroy . additional trees as each would be required to construct driveways that are a minimum of 20' . verses the proposed 12' drives. Both homeowners would like to limit the destruction of foliage as it acts as a visual and audio screen from the traffic on Lexington, 3, The last concern was multiple access could be confusing and dangerous to intersections at Victoria and Amble. Referring to the previous concern of the dynamics of entering and exiting: entering the properties would be to the existing access and would be no more confusing than is the present situation. The exiting of a vehicle would be the responsibility of the driver existing in a careful, prudent manner no different than the present situation. The safety factor is allowing the traffic turning in to be unrestricted by exiting traffic thereby requiring thern to stop on Lexington before having the turning radius to enter safely, The proposed reconstruction of Lexington does not allow traffic to cross over from the north bound because an island will restrict a left turn into the entrance of the properties, Thereby this will not effect the traffic coming south on Lexington including the traffic coming off Amble, The reverse is true for the intersection at Victoria as the island restricts a left turn out of the proposed exits effecting the traffic coming north or off of Victoria. It will not effect the traffic moving south off Victoria as a traffic light is being proposed for that intersection, Northbound traffic turning onto Amble will not be confused because traffic is restricted from turning into the proposed accesses because of the proposed . island. A left turn is not possible, People looking to turn onto Amble will not be confused because they will see the street sign, turn and not pass either of the three accesses as they are south of the Amble turn. In conclusion, the homeowners feel that their proposal is the best use possible for both of the properties. They also feel that when they were approached by the county concerning the road improvements, they discussed this proposal with the county and the county directed them to petition the city for the accesses. Their only concern was that the accesses were at least 60' apart, We do not believe they would have made this suggestion if they felt the proposal was not a safe one and in the best interest of the homeowners and the public, We respectfully resubmit to you our proposal and apologize that we were not as prepared for your concerns at the last meeting, We respect your time and consideration.

Planning Commission Meeting April 6, ,2005 Attachment 5A - 3 . . . . Mr. Peter Hellegers March 23, 2005 City Planner City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Re: Variance Request Dear Mr. Hellegers; As property owners at 4365 Lexington Avenue North in Arden Hills, Minnesota would like to have a variance for one and half driveways allowed for our property, Enclosed are our site plans and photos of our driveway to clarify our request At the March 2, 2005, Planning Meeting Commission three pOints were raised as a basis for motion to deny, #1, Lack of detailed plans for the new driveway, #2, The shared access was a condition of approval for developing the properties at which lime no turnarounds were developed on the properties, #3, Multiple accesses would be more confusing and dangerous to Lexington Avenue, In response to the three points raised as stated above, we're submitting detailed plans on the location of the additional requested driveway, The specifications are as follows; . #1, The proposed driveway will be positioned 30 feet from the southeast property line; having a width of 20 feet, length of 48 feet and will be 70 feet from the existing driveway, This location of the proposed driveway would be the least disruptive to the existing vegetation, Causing the removal of one five-inch diameter tree and transplantation of five others with varying trunk sizes all smaller than four inches in diameter, #2, Upon review of the site plan, logical location for the turnaround on our property would cause the removal of a 25-inch Norway Maple with a Ramsey County accessed in value of $10,309. We feel that the addition of a turnaround at this point in time just does not make sense, (See enclosed photo,) #3, We'd like to see the existing shared driveway remain as the main entrance to the properties, The additional driveways would be exists out of the properties, To establish this traffic flow we will post an "Enter Only" sign near the center driveway and "Exit Only" signs be placed on the proposed driveway, Also, our house number signs would be placed near the center driveway, We feel that this configuration would eliminate vehicles from backing out onto Lexington Avenue when we have visitors over. Which we feel is a dangerous situation under present conditions We have also enclosed a photo that shows just how much room there currently is with the shared driveway when two cars meet coming and going to the properties, Currently, when two cars meet on the driveway at the same lime one car usually drives on our lawn to avoid the neighbors' block wall, On garbage pickup day this single entrance becomes even more confining, Since we are new to the neighborhood as of June 2004 we have not had time to landscape our . property near the walking path, Our landscaping plans are to add a similar matching block. wall when the construction is completed on Lexington Avenue. Adding this block wall will cause the appearance of the shared driveway to be narrower and cars will no longer be able to drive over our lawn, . . Our neighbors expressed concerns over the proposed changes and as good neighbors we are inviting them over for coffee, We look forward to discussing our mutual issues and ideas to preserve harmony. The open house is planned for Saturday April 2 at 10:00 a,rn, and all are welcome to attend, kind consideration. Sincerely, ~~ ~ R",;.j . . 4367 . I I ---...1 .

The resident had just constructed a red cedar fence which was 6 feet 6 inches in height with ornamental post caps somewhat higher stilL Apparently, the materials are sent to the . fence company pre-cut and when the frame is assembled the fences would be taller than the 6 foot height currently permitted, The resident stated that these red cedar fences are very attractive and with the regulations the way they currently the fences would likely not get built due to the extra cost to the resident to have the contractor reduce the height of pre-cut the fence materials, The resident has provided copies of fence regulations from several metro area cities which allow maximum fence heights ranging from 6 feet 6 inches to 8 feet. The Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance allows fences in residential districts to be built in the front yard area up to a maximum of3 feet in height and fences in rear yards to be built up to a maximum of 6 feet. A Zoning Permit is required prior to fence construction. Building regulations would kick-in for fences above a height of 6 feet (due to wind load, etc,), If the Planning Commission indicates that the fence regulations should be amended staff would schedule a public hearing for the May 4th Planning Commission meeting and also bring Zoning Ordinance amendment language to that meeting, Discussion Ouestions . Should the fence regulations in the Zoning Ordinance be amended to include a maximum height of 6'6",7', 8' or another height; should the regulations provide a maximum height of 6' without a building permit and fences above 6' (up to a set maximum) through a building permit; or should the current regulations remain? . If the language should be amended, was there particular code language from one . of the example ordinances that you felt was preferable? . .
